Reports claim that Middlesbrough defender Dael Fry is a transfer target for Premier League clubs Newcastle United and Everton. According to the reports, Boro are ready to cash in on the defender as they look to raise much-needed funds ahead of next season.

Boro made it ten games without victory after pathetically throwing away a 2-0 half-time lead at home to Hull City, a result which lifts them out of the relegation zone, however only by goal difference.

Boro go into the international break having won one from their opening six league games and while there are constant reminders that implementing a new system takes time, there are question marks over Jonathan Woodgate’s approach.

The confirmation of the news everyone was expecting, announcing the new-look coaching team, the follow up reveal of the club’s stunning new away kit, last Friday felt like a good day to be a Boro fan. A feeling that has not come often in the last 2-3 years.
